Review Posted 03/10/2019
Bought this blower brand new from a friend who bought it and didn’t use it. It was built much more heavily than I thought. If you are used to a 24” or 26” or 28”, this is not one of those. It is a Monster that requires some skill and strength. But for all of this, you will clear your drive or parking area in half the time and will be Very Impressed.
Very happy I bought it!

Review Posted 08/17/2017
I found this blower very good in most conditions.
However, in deep snow the wheels spin, and nothing goes forward, despite a coarse threat on the tires. Any recommendations on chains? Would the go over both wheels?
Even if only 1 set of wheels is driven, it would make sense to me to get more traction.
Overall sturdy product, and - no surprise - needs a little muscle grease to maneuver.

Review Posted 08/24/2016
Bought it from a friend that went to a front mounted blower for his lawn mower so I got a GREAT deal on it. The blower can handle that half frozen slush that the road plow leaves at the end of the drive way. last winter we got 8" of very wet heavy snow. Mine blew it with no issues.
My neighbor has a 2 stage craftsman that would only blow it a couple of feet so I had to did his. the only issue it is VERY HEAVY. so if you have a lot of turns in your driveway this might not be the machine for you!!!

Redo video of this huge snow blower.
By Lyle J.

Review Posted 12/21/2015
Looks like a great snowblower for a large area but why do you present it with engine acting like the choke is still on causing the surging. This is a new machine buts sounds like it is on its last leg. We know it is a matter of adjustment or choke stuck on but come on....an advertisement needs to be very appealing.
Also, what happened to the audio half way through?
Need more snow, engine running properly and a more professional video to sell this fine product.
This thing is a monster and really clears snow fast, even with tired sounding motor
Just FYI to Snow Blowers Direct.
Thank you,
Had a 7HP Ariens during my 5 years living at Lake Tahoe. Ran like a watch and moved a ton of snow.
No use for a blower now but fun to watch them in action.

Super wide, I have the 24" and 45", love them both. The 45" is a little heavy to maneuver, but strait in a line she can take whatever you throw at it!

Snow blower
By Jerzy
altona, New York
Review Posted 12/03/2011
I used the snow blower once, 8-10 in of pretty heavy snow, worked very good. The next day the snow that hadn't been cleared was very heavy, the exhaust chute plugged immediately, to me it seems like it's way too small in diameter for the width+height of intake, also it takes a strong man to man handle this machine. Starts and runs very well.
